my original FUV saw so much goat action!
also, the trunk served as a convenient duck plucker
Oh how sad to hear on Monday my trusty, lovely taurus car had a cracked engine head at almost 200,000 miles….a seriously life ending report for the car. She was a good one, after 6 years and almost 170,000 miles, we went through so much, traveled to may places, delivered so many goodies, had such great times. And this car had very few repairs needed. I hauled over 600 lbs/week of grain and feed in that car, went ice fishing with her, took my German cousin Anetta to Duluth, went to visit my friend Heidi in Decorah, Iowa, to visit family in San Antonio, TX, and even to North Carolina. Plus MANY miles driving to and from Stillwater and Minneapolis/St.Paul.

So in a panic, I had to find a new car to replace my unreplaceable car…and found a 2000 Subaru with 91,000 miles and more space for hauling than I could believe! She’s a sleek machine and I hope this car can surpass my previous one’s abilities. My mechanic said yes, so home she came. Next week she’ll get to haul the 50 ducklings home from the other farm- as soon as it warms up a bit.

Duck Eggs
My Khaki Campbell heritage ducks lay the most amazing eggs in the universe!
These duck eggs are more rich tasting than any chicken egg, and have a
luscious, velvety texture, due to the extra healthy fats found in duck eggs.
Duck eggs are the ultimate for baking, as they have extra protein, giving your
goodies a lofty height and a rich moistness you won’t believe.
The lady ducks of LTD Farm live outside in the fresh air and sunshine all year,
free ranging in their huge duck pasture. They are living a great duck life! You’ll
see it in the beautiful yolks. My website has more info and recipes:

the curd, pre-stretching into fresh, sweet, tasty, buttery mozzarella
when it works, it is beautiful!!! Yesterday I taught a class through River Market Co-op in Stillwater, on making fresh mozzarella. Making the curd can be so challenging- as the directions don’t always work. Well, the cheese angels were looking out for me! We had a successful mozzarella tasting after the curd set up perfectly, despite the heat going too high, and my worrying. Check out River Market’s website for more fun classes! www.rivermarket.coop
